Instructions

    • Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add the oil to the skillet.
    • Season the beef with the salt and pepper and then sear the meat, cooking in batches, until browned on all sides. Remove the beef to a crockpot.
    • Add the onions to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes or until translucent. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds more. Remove to the crockpot.
  • Add all of the remaining ingredients aside from the peas and parsley to the crockpot and stir to combine.
  • Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours.
  • Remove the lid and stir in the peas and parsley. The peas will quickly warm up in the hot soup.
  • Taste and add additional salt and pepper, if desired.
  • Serve hot.

Tips & Notes:

To make this lower in carbs, swap the potatoes for turnips and reduce or omit the carrots and peas.

Leftovers will keep well in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

The beef bouillon is optional, but does help make for a richer, more savory broth.
